Step 1
If you have a complaint regarding any aspect of your dealings with Brufords, we urge you to contact us by email or telephone in the first instance (Contact details can be found above). Our aim is to resolve the vast majority of complaints during your first contact with us. You can also contact us in writing by letter to the address above.
Step 2
After a complaint is made, if it not immediately resolved, we may need further time to investigate. This process may take 10 business days or longer, in which case, we will update you with a reason for the delay and an expected timeframe for resolution.
If We Cannot Reach An Agreement With You
If your complaint is not resolved to your satisfaction by us within 8 weeks, we will:
- Send a letter or email giving our reasons for the delay and an indication of when we expect to provide a final decision.
- Issue our final decision letter or email which will explain our final position.
The Legal Ombudsman
At Brufords, our aim is to resolve all complaints internally. However, if after receiving our final decision letter, or if eight weeks has passed since the date a complaint is received anywhere in our business, you may have rights to refer your complaint to the Legal Ombudsman Service, for which their contact details are show below.
